Welcome to the Saturday post. Below are podcasts that inspired me this week and a quick recap of what was covered on both the personal development and sustainability blogs. Enjoy!

PodList

This week, there are four podcasts that stood out to me.  Topics include setting boundaries, taking risks, and creating even if you aren’t seeing visible impact.  I hope you find some that resonate with you.

Why Meetings Suck and How to Fix Them. 32 minutes. Work Life with Adam Grant. The title of this one says it all.  If you are frustrated with the meetings on your calendar, this could be a good listen.

Problem Solving Skills for Business Success. 9 minutes. Optimal Work Daily.  The need to solve problems crops up in both our professional and personal lives. This short podcast provides tips and ideas.

Letting Go and Embracing the New. 18 minutes. The Accidental Creative. This podcast covers the tension between stability and challenge.  How can individuals, leaders and organizations leverage this tension to transform from one state to another.

The New Rules of Laundry. 20 minutes. Life Kit.  We all have laundry. This post has some great tips – including several that align with One Shade Greener at Home to help green your laundry room.

Conditions for Calm. This post explores the activities that can create personal calm during a time of stress and overwhelm.

Short and Sweet.  Sometimes we need to be reminded to be succinct.

Speed Humps. What is the difference between a speed bump and a speed hump? How could this apply to our personal development?  This post explores both of those questions.

Procrastination.  We all procrastinate.  We have different reasons, and procrastination techniques are different.  This final post of the week explores the self-awareness to recognize and address the issue.
